SPIRITwooD, Dec. 3O.-Cuyler Adams,

Delegate Clifford, introduced new bill

The Manly Way.

The Toledo Blade, the paper OF Petrol
cum v. Nasby, has been attempting TO
pulverize the rum power Tor some time
and has at last hit upon the following
scheme.
Suppose we raise this tax 10 twenty
five dollars a gallon on beer aud other
malt liquors, and fifty dollars a gallon on
whisky and spirituous liquors, and increase
the penalties, now already severe, in the
same proportion OF any evasion or viola
tion of the internal laws. Then raise tar
i'll on imported liquors in the same pro-
portion. Let the yearly special tax upon
retail dealers he increased 10 twenty five
hundred dollars year. The result will
be the entire extinction OF the manutact-
uie and sale oil rum, for liquor will be 100
dear TO drink, and hence there will be no
one to buy, there being no buyers, the
retailers will not pay the special tax, nnd
there will be no demand, the brewers and
dislillers will stop the manufacture"
The Blade probably realizes that as
this would be virtual prohibition, it would
be just as difficult TO have law OF this
kind passed as il wonlL be to pass pro-
hibitory law, and just as difficult to en-
force as prohibition. The only difference
between this "high tag" scheme and pro-
hibition is that the former is a transpar-
snt effort TO sneak upon and trip up in
day light, wary foe who fully under.

IN IEMORIAI.

Samuel Harris Steedman was born
Oct. II, 1903, in Northumb berland coun-
ty, Pa, on the "Old Steedman Home
stead" where his father and mother
died, fino farm of 200 acres on the
river opposite Lewisburg. Mr.. Steed-
man was left without the care of
father at the age of ten. his father, Will
liam Steedman, who was engaged for
number of years it'll Philadelphia par.
ties as canal and land speculator, died
at the age of SO years, and his mother,
Rebecca, in 1874, at the age of 80.
There we're six boys and two girls, none
of whom are now living. When Gen.
j. r. Steedman's parents died, leaving
three children, two boys and one girl,
S. H. Steedman and mother took them
to their home to raise.
Mr.. Steedman went to Kentucky in
1886, where he contracted to build 90
miles of railroad, grading, culverts, etc.
This road suspended at the time banks
suspended in the panic of 1887, and this
burg, Frankfort Sc Lexington Railway,
is still in debt to Mr.. s. $4,000. The
General was working in printing office
at this time but left there and followed
his uncle.
Mr.. Steedman came to Ohio in 1897,
and took contracts on the Wabash &
Erie canal. The General soon follow
ing, was put in as boss for his uncle un-
til he received section of the canal to
build. In 1s49 he built a bridge across
the canal at Defiance, "A State contract.
In 1854 he and Mr.. Noble, of Defiance,
built the Wabash bridge, again sustain
ing heavy loss.
Politically Mr.. Steedman was an ac-
tive working Democrat. In 1889 he
held commission as postmaster under
President jackson, for whom he voted
three times. In 1850 he was elec ted as
Representative to the Legislature, at
one time serving as chairman of five
different committees in that body.
Conducted dry goods store for some
years, and in 1861 received a commits
sion from Gov. Dennison and raised the
6Sth Regt. o. V. l, of which he was
made Colonel. Resided for some years
at Providence, afterward kept hotel Mt
Grand Rapids, then removed to Napo.
leon where he continued in the hotel
business for few years until he traded
hotel property for private residence Of
Gov. Scott.
Finally locating in Monclova, Lucas
county, in 1878, he in company with
Michael Hayes and his son James, and
G. z. Smith, purchased two large stone
quarries, now known as the Monclova
Sand Mines. The property was pur-
chased OF man named Fish, who re-
tanned a fifth interest, but who som af-
ter robbed them of the entire property
through an old mortgage, after repre-
sentiug to them that the title was clear.
In 1884 Mr.. Steedman, Hayes 81 Smith
took contract for deepening channel at
the Maumee slack water, opposite Grand
Rapids, which lasted four years, and for
which the State iS yet indebted to them
$4,000. This was his last business ven-
ture.
Col. Steedman was member OF the
G. A. r. and charter member of the
X. of l.. Association, organized at Mon
clova one year ago. A goodly number
of these organizations and of the Posts
al Maumee and Perrysburg attended the
ceremonies of laying the remains in
their last resting place In Fort Meiga
Cemetery last Sunday.

How II was Passed.


The amendment TO the Dow law passed
just at the close OF the session, was clearly
case Of scare. Neither the House nor
the Senate wished TO pass 1t. The Column
bus correspondent Of the Commercial, IL
bitter opponent of every temperance meas
ure, remarked after the bill had been de-
feated in the House and then reconsidered {:
1t is impossible, nor would it be pru-
dent, 10 fail 10 recognize that n tremen-
dUus sentiment has developed all over Ohio
demanding that these agency frauds be
wiped ont by making the local option
feature of the Dow law clear and distinct
az to this point. During the last few
years have talked with n large number
OF leading Republicans, men who WELD
potential influence in the party, and /
have yet to find one. with the exception
OF DR.. Scott, the legisls,ive parent OF the
original Scott law, who does not say that
il would be a great political blnnder for
the Legislature 10 aiourn without adopt
ing either the Pavey amendment or the
Brown amendment.
Ii is clear from this that the object was
purely political.
Further on the same correspondent
says:
Colonel Poorman, Of Belmont County,
asserts that unless the, ,Pavey or Brown
amendment be passed there will he very
large falling off in the Republican vote
throughout the State, and that the next
Legislature will have two Democrats in
stead of Two Republicans from his county
Republican Representatives from all the
close counties say the same thing, and
Governor Foraker is also exceedingly anx-
ious that either one Or the other OF the
proposed amendments be adopted.
This is the solitary item of temperance
legislation, that has been passed by the
present Legislature. Everything gives
positive proof that even this was not passed
with any desire Of aiding the Temperance
cause, but simply from the fear that
they might lose some votes in the rural
districts il they failed to pass it. II will
be remembered that this bill was once de-
ieaied 10 the House. three Democrats vot-
ing for il and nine Republicans against 1t.
After this defeat. it was perceived that
the effect upon the Republican party
would be disastrous, II was reconsideIed
and the next day passed by close vole.-
